“Instead of removing Mallory from choir class, I wanted the girls that were tapping her chair every other day and calling her a bitch, I wanted those children removed from class. Not Mallory,” Dianne Grossman says.

The lawsuit alleges that the bullies sent Mallory texts and Snapchat photos with messages like "You have no friends," "Fat," "Jiggly,” “Poor Mal” and “When are you going to kill yourself?” The Grossmans say that Mallory told them to stop, but they didn't.

“When these facts were brought to the attention to the school district and the school administrators, those facts were terribly ignored,” Nagel says.

The lawsuit also says school officials suggested Mallory eat lunch in a guidance office instead of the lunchroom to avoid her harassers. She was also forced to hug one of the alleged harassers in an apparent attempt at reconciliation.

The Grossmans say that had the school district taken swift and effective action against the bullying, Mallory would still be alive.

"I want them to care less about test scores and care about the emotional intelligence that our children are experiencing,” Dianne Grossman says.

The family attorney says that they have not brought a lawsuit against the four families whose children allegedly bullied Mallory. But he says that they have been put on notice for possible legal action.

It is the first lawsuit filed in response to a cyberbullying suicide in New Jersey.
